Simple, Quick and Clean
This is probably the simplist upgrade I've ever done, pop out the stock insert and snap the chrome one into place. Dresses up the dash a bit and I'm very happy with the item. |

Thanks Eric
I was faced with the same issue. My bike would not start after fitting this part. Despite the Honda dealer reviewing the bike they were stumped. They were going to order a brand new module as they figured the module was no longer able to register the chip in the key. I was reading this site and found your comment. I went to the bike shop and removed the part and sure enough the bike started. I wont go into detail about what was said. I decided to follow your advice and honed out the centre ring with my dremel. I then had it chrome wrapped and put it back on. It cost me some serious money to rectify an issue caused by a $20 part. |

Don't despair all is not lost.
I too fell into the EU/AU trap and bought this only to find it interfered with the HISS. However, thanks to a great tip from Prankster, Sydney (page 2) she now starts no problem and the desired chrome effect is maintained. With a modeling saw and some patience (it is only soft plastic) I took about 2mm off the depth of the inner ring. Scrape the sawn edge with a Stanley knife and bingo. It just needs to be short enough not to touch the key surround. Gerad, I hope you've still got yours, it's worth a go. |

Chrome Key Plate Accent For GL 1800
Excellent product but I messed up and ordered wrong year product. I have an 04 Goldwing and this is for 06 and newer. I did order a new one for my 04 and waiting for delivery. What I liked about this one was it appeared as you got to keep goldwing emblem as appeared on stock oem one. New one replaces emblem. I will review it when it comes in. Just writing to inform folks pay attention to year change as I didn't and I love the quality and simplicity of this product. |

Good Looking, extremely easy install
It literally takes longer to get the plastic wrap off of this piece than it does to install it. I took a plastic putty knife and slid it under the OEM one and it popped right up. The new one just pushes right into the place vacated by the old one. Less than one minute install. Looks very nice. |

Nice item to bling up that area.
The basic installation was very easy. I didn't realise until I received them that they are marked not suitable for EU/AU models. Sure enough the bike wouldn't start once it was installed. (It interferes with the HISS system) After a bit of looking around on the web I found a solution. With a dremel tool (or a file) just remove about half the chrome on the inside of the round part that touches the lock barrel. You can't see this area once installed and it works fine. |
